Southwestern Bell denies surprise tactic plan in Kansas rate case
Southwestern Bell spokesman Stanley H. Crow rejected the Kansas Corporation Commission staff's claim that the company might introduce new figures to boost its $25.9 million rate increase request. Crow said updates reflect current data and ECC rules and would not surprise the commission. The KCC summoned Bell to a hearing after staff cited testimony suggesting possible changes to the filing. Bell had originally sought a $33.1 million increase, later trimmed to $27.9 million and then to $25.9 million with a directory assistance charge approval.
